Study Notes
Recurrent Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis (SBP) and Hepatorenal Syndrome
- Recurrent SBP is a risk factor for developing hepatorenal syndrome (HRS)
- HRS is a life-threatening complication of advanced liver disease, defined by kidney failure without other known causes
- Recurrent SBP can worsen renal function in patients with liver disease
- Recurrent SBP contributes to HRS by inducing vasoconstriction, which reduces renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate
- The main concern with recurrent SBP in liver disease patients is the increased risk of developing HRS and subsequent mortality
